Re: Joe the Plumber...
There are a lot of questions being asked now about the star of last night's debate, Joe ''The Plumber'' Wurzelbacher. To many he seemed perfect-- maybe a little too perfect for the role he was playing: Joe Six-Pack.It turns out Mr. Wurzelbacher is not a licensed plumber. He's not a licensed plumber, yet he is planning on starting his own plumbing ...

Staggering incomprehensibility
This is truly frightening. It seems she assumes her listener shares her own inability to grasp a complete thought. Perhaps she thinks us so stupid and hungry that she need only scatter crumbled fragments on the pool of dialogue and she'll be able to rip this election right from the waters before we recognize her chum for the fisherman's lure it ...

The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

Obama can "Talk the Talk... but can he Walk the Walk?"
When it comes to speeches and motivating those poor neglected ignorant Democrats... Obama is the King!! Throughout the campaing, he has change position on issues several times and more so than McCain. This new position now about off shore drilling is one of his latest flip ups and is all because the polls stated that the majority of American ...
